Thoughts Everyone Has While Sitting In Traffic

Road trips can either be fun or the worst time of your life. In order for a road trip to be fun you need some essentials including friends, a good playlist and lots of junk food, but what you don't need is to sit in traffic for hours not moving. Sitting in bumper to bumper traffic is never fun, even if you are with some of your best friends. While sitting in traffic everyone has the exact same thoughts.

1. OK, this is fine, the traffic will pass.

We all have hope that the traffic will only last a few miles, but a few miles of bumper to bumper traffic can take hours. Most times, you are wrong, and the traffic lasts for multiple exits, a.k.a. multiple miles, and you might as well add another two hours to your ETA.

2. Crap, I am really hungry, we should have stopped at that last exit.

If you get hungry during a traffic jam, you are SOL, because you most likely won't be eating for at least an hour and that hour is going to go by very slowly.

3. Crap, I really have to pee.

Well again, you are SOL, because you are definitely going to have to hold that pee in for a while -- well, maybe. You have three options when this happens: pee on the side of the road and hope that nobody sees you; pee in a bottle; or hold it in.

4. Why can I not pick a song that I enjoy?

For some reason when you are sitting in traffic, you can never find a song you enjoy. You end up skipping 10 songs until you finally find a song that you sort of enjoy that you listen to for 1 minute and then end up skipping another 10 songs.

5. OK, great, so my friends can fall asleep, but I have to stay up

This is definitely the worst part of road trips. You've been sitting in traffic for over an hour, and slowly your friends are falling asleep, but you have to stay up bored out of your mind.

6. Should I make friends with the driver next to me?

This is definitely my favorite thing to do while in traffic. Just put on some good music, roll down the window, and start dancing weird with your friends. The driver next to you will definitely enjoy themselves...well their snapchat friends will definitely enjoy themselves.

7. Finally! We are moving again.

OK, traffic jam is over. Time to go 95 mph so we can try to get to our destination somewhat on time.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
